Introducing the UK's First Dedicated Rail Event
Fred Holidays has set the stage for an exciting new chapter in the UK's travel industry by launching what it claims to be the first-ever dedicated rail event for trade agents. Titled the Rail-ly Big Event, this gathering will be held at the Swindon Steam Museum on April 23 from 6 PM to 10 PM. This milestone event aims to connect travel agents with various rail providers from around the globe, including well-known names like Eurostar, Rocky Mountaineer, and Jungfrau Railways.
Growing Demand for Rail Holidays
In a year marked by significant changes in travel preferences, Fred Holidays reports an impressive 80% increase in rail holiday bookings so far. Sally Barlow, the rail product manager at Fred Holidays, expressed that the event is designed to empower agents with the knowledge needed to confidently recommend rail holidays to their customers. The company's initiative comes on the heels of the positive reception of its first stand-alone rail brochure earlier this year.
Celebrating Rail Travel
Set against the backdrop of the Swindon Steam Museum, the venue perfectly encapsulates the charm and history of rail travel. Barlow emphasizes that the event isn't just an educational opportunity; it also promises to be a fun and engaging evening for agents, reinforcing the strong community among rail travel advocates.
The Future of Rail Tourism in the UK
The Rail-ly Big Event opens a new avenue for promoting rail travel, aiming not only to educate but to inspire agents and their clientele. The rising trend of experiential travel—where journeys are as valuable as destinations—aligns with the growing popularity of rail holidays. As agents gather to network with key providers like Travel Switzerland and Caledonian Sleeper, they will also be able to explore diverse offerings that rail travel has to offer, all under one roof.
This event marks a significant opportunity for Florida homeowners planning future trips. With the rail industry adapting to increased consumer interest, it’s a prime time for travel agents to leverage this demand and offer exciting options for their clients looking to explore new destinations.
